Our "Mission Success" DEPENDS on our members,
Membership isn't something you have...it is something you DO.

As we continue to work on major goals, we are constantly assisting wood producers in a number of ways. We are as close as your telephone and have already proven that our service more than off-sets the cost of dues. We pledge to diligently search for solutions to your problems with professionalism and dignity, and it is in this spirit that we urge wood producers to "get involved" by standing up and being counted as a part of this organization.
